Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 3 February 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

Oh I am so proud for mother nature. This photo was taken on our garden just one hour ago, It has rained all night and this yellow beauty was full of fresh water. I set the macro and started having fun, 5 shots latter this is for all of you to enjoy during this weekend. Take care Am3 blogers, make the most of life....

With the time approaching let’s celebrate the coming of the new year.
Post one image on December 25th with a Xmas wish.
Post a second image on January the 1st 2010 and include a smile with yourself in this picture!
Get your mind working on this idea am3, tell your friends about it.
See you there, all the best, Dimitrios from Athens Greece.

Michael Zhang from New York City, United States

Very nice touch with the water - something you don't see often in flower pictures. I think it works great here.

Shuva Brata Deb from Hyderabad, India

Nice idea to get the water, but there is somthing missing, the lighting was not so appropriate or may be the angle at which the shot was taken.

@Shuva Brata Deb: greetings Shuva, it is a cloudy day, the plant was on the ground 6-8 cm above so I did my best, thanks for the comments.

Really Beautiful Dimitrius, mother nature is really amazing indeed!

@Alfredo J. Martiz J.: hi Alfredo, thanks for your comment. Are you a student or are you working in Japan? Is it nice there, do you like the way of living, I hear it is a great country.

Anne from White Rock, Canada

Its a beautiful close up Dimitrios. Flowers always look better with morning dew on them. I used to put a few drops of water on them in the past to take their photos. I find the cloudy day works well for such a bright color. You haven't got contrasty reflections bouncing back at you, which happens when the sun shines brightly on a flower - it also tends to wash out the color. It's a great shot!

@Anne: thank you Anne, very kind of you, take care D

adalove from Alcala de Guadaira, Spain

Ahraht from Loures, Portugal

You have an acute eye for this kind of stuff. Great shot.

3 Feb 2007 10:29pm

@Ahraht: my wife acuses me of going over the board with taking pictures, but I enjoy it very much and I am always looking for unusual things, regards D

Shiva from Kajang, Malaysia

Nice! Maybe you can PS it a bit by increasing the levels and then adding a yellow filter to really show the character of the flower! Nice idea indeed!

4 Feb 2007 3:47am

@Shiva: thank you Shiva. I presume PS means process it? It is in my future plans to learn Photo shop so I can fule around with some of my shots. regards D

Shiva from Kajang, Malaysia

Its okay... you will have plenty of time to do it... also.. perhaps maybe you can also try Microsoft Digital Image suite... as good as PS but simpler .. keep shootin

4 Feb 2007 2:31pm

@Shiva: thanks one more, D

Abdullah from Esfahan, Iran
